^^ not everything is a castle here in Germany because we would use different words for different styles in which they were builded... Here in Germany we would differ between eine Burg and ein Schloss but in English both words get only translated as castle 🙄 and then we would also have the word Palast that would mean palace 🤷
@@atzenpeterMcfresh nee, auch sowas wie Bahnhof Zoo oder so ^^ aber da gibt es noch ganz andere Ecken... 😉 noo, maybe also something like Berlins trainstation Bahnhof Zoo or something like that ^^ but there exist also a few more places... 😉
Jau, bin ich durchaus. Damals - Corona - sagte ich der Impf-Ärztin in einer riesengroßen Halle: ".... guten Tag. Ha'n sie die Spritze rein, wo immer Sie wollen. Ich bin froh und gücklich, in einem Land zu leben, wo das überhaupt möglich ist ... und dann auch noch umsonst!..." Sie hatte etwas geweint. Stefan, Dortmund
Wohl war, wir sind viel zu verwöhnt (worden) und fahren lieber nach Malle zum Saufen. Ganz großes Kino mit mächtig Niveau! Ich habe schon einiges von der Welt gesehen, aber die schönsten Urlaube hatte ich hier in Deutschland und zwar mit großem Abstand! Mehr als ein Viertel meines Berufslebens habe ich zw. Rhein und Mosel verbracht. Und ich habe da gewohnt, wo andere Urlaub machen! Nach der Arbeit aufs Motorrad und eine Runde durch die Eifel oder durchs Moseltal oder Lahntal und der Tag ist dein bester Freund!
There are some beautiful parts of Germany, but in general, as a German I feel most of our landscapes are really boring compared to the breathtaking landscapes on other continents. Not only did German-speaking Prussian lands once extends as far east as Königsberg/Kaliningrad all along the Baltic Sea and the Danube river, but those are no longer part of today's Germany. And most of the country and its forests have been extensively used and moulded by agriculture and forestry since Roman times. There's, like, one small "Urwald" (primeval forest) left and its under nature protection. And our North Sea coast with its small islands and the Baltic Sea coast are not as majestic as i.e. the French Bretonic coast or the Atlantic coast.
Well, I grew up in Heidelberg, a city most Americans visit if they take a trip to Europe. With the big castle and wonderful nature around. But I think America has a lot of very interesting places to visit we would never be able to see in Europe. So every country, every continent has it's special history and nature.
Ich habe heute den 27.11.2024 zum ersten mal dieses Video gesehen. Ich habe vieles gesehen mit meinen 49 Jahren von meiner Heimat: das Hermannsdenkmal (der mit dem Schwert in der hand) der vor 2000 Jahren gegen die Römer kämpfte, König Barbarossa Denkmal, der aus seinem Berg kommen wird wenn das Deutsche Volk in der größten Not ihn ruf, dies waren seine letzten Worte. Ich war auch bei der Germania am Rhein. Man vergisst so viel und es verplassen erinnerungen, wo man alles war. Ich habe tränen in den Augen wie schön meine Heimat ist und wir Deutschen selbt kaum beachten. Es ist traurig das diese 2000 Jahre alte Deutsche Geschichte irgendwie untergeht. Meine Heimat, mein zu Hause, wie schön Du doch bist.
Man, your first reaction made me cry... So many people in the US have no idea what is going on around and outside of the US... Yes, i have been a lot in the States and i love it as well, but europe (i am swiss) has so much history and culture... You guys were told that your country is the best and there is literally nothing to see across the border (speaking of protecting your local tourism🤔) ... I hope you will be able to see one day the rest of the world, traveling is so important... 👏👋
@@dershihaya2263 Not as many, no. That would be historically impossible. If you care about that and not only about being unable to accept that people think of Germany as beautiful.

The difference between Germany (Europe in General) and the USA is the history. A friend of mine had bought a house that was built before Columbus came to the Americas and it was in constant use since then and it still is in great shape and will be still here when I and my friend are gone.
Some cities and towns still have buildings in use that are actually more than 800 years old and I don't mean palaces and castles but buildings that were and are hostels, pubs etc. Unfortunately, in the 19th century, a large part of the old buildings in my native town fell victim to a fire.
Im so happy seeing people react to our country and also think its beautiful as i do! Im very happy to live in such (kinda old)and historic country with many important people troughout history! Liebe Grüße,aus berlin!Mach weiter so!
A miss a few shots about inner architecture, Christmas markets, model trains, curry wursts, cars, Phantasialand and people. But the movie will take the whole day ;-)
Yesterday I said to a friend that I am not proud of it. But with this video I say, yes, I'm proud to have been born here. I live near Cologne and whenever I stand in front of the cathedral, I think wow. I love our old towns, I'm very often in Monschau. Love all the castles and their history.
How many castles and palaces are there in Germany? Image result for palaces and castles germany Around 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions bear witness to Germany's history: some of them are still in their old glory, others are ruins that remind you of times gone by.
A big difference with New York and what makes each castle even more impressive is that each one of them had a purpose and special history where skyscrapers are just a product of commercial necessity.
This, my friend, is Mankind, concentrated in one "Spot" All Achievements, all Human Rights, all Beauty, all Glory - i am proud to call this my Homeland. Please dont get me wrong ; saying words like "Pride" as a german might be difficult, i know that 😉 Greetings!

Thank you for showing this amazing Video of my homecountry - we always forget how beautyful the things around us are, because we see them all the time😮 it is a real joy to observe, how you are looking at all our stunning towns and buildings😊 you seem to enjoy them, like a child in Disneyland with open eyes and open mouth. I wish you can see all of this in person and really enjoy it and have contact to nice and friendly people, who Show you our country. I live near Frankfurt am Main, the City with the tallest modern buildings, that also has beautyful historic spots and pittoresc small towns around it. ❤ sorry for my bad english, I'm out of school here in Germany since 1986😅
There are 25.000 Castles in Germany. And the Architecture is amazing on them and most of the churches and sightseeing Places over here. So if you get here - enjoy it to the fullest!
Yo, cool reaction to an awesome video! Really shows some of the beautiful scenery and buildings in Germany! Hopefully you can visit some time and see it in person and enjoy some food and our good beer haha! Greetings
At 4:58 min. it's The Ulmer Münster. The highest Church in the world. 161,53 meter high. At 7:09 it's The Limburger Dom with his seven towers. This Church is from 1230! 800 years old!
Around 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions bear witness to Germany's history: some of them are still in their old glory, others are ruins that remind you of times gone by.
the castle at 13:35 is Burg Eltz, the the decendants of the family who built it in the 12th century still lives there. We also have the longest castle in the world, Burghausen which is over 1km or 0.65 miles long.
i'm a proud german and I love my beautiful country with all my heart and i would never regret to be born and raised in germany my beloved "Vaterland"😌🙏🏻❤️
4:15 It depends. What is a castle to you? The estimation for castles originally used as fortification or (in the broadest sense) military buildings is about 25,000 - that includes some ruins, but not palaces built for representative or governmental purposes (except for some (re)built in the 19th century in "medieval" romantic style like Burg Hohenzollern (1:29) or Schloss Neuschwanstein (1:04) and some others) or e.g. abbeys which were repurposed in the 19th century as palaces, army barracks or infirmaries or e.g. municipal fortifications.
Wonderfull video! Wonderfull reactions on the footage! You are really great guy and I'll keep my fingers crossed, that you'll be able to see all that shown once in future with your own eyes. The video showed me personal once again, that my country is really beautifull and great to travel in...yeah, and it made me goosebumps as well🙂
Everywhere you go, you’ll encounter castles in Germany as almost every city has at least one castle somewhere. Some are rather new (200-300 years old) while others are over a 1000 years old, like for example the castle in my city which was build around 800 AD in order to withstand the attacks of the vikings. 😄 And concerning the islands: Germany has 77 islands. The biggest island of Germany is Rügen in the Baltic Sea. The biggest German island in the North Sea is Sylt. 😄
5:54: Lüneburg, the place I was born and raised in the north of Germany! The Rathaus on the right is one of the most interesting buildings because it has been build over centuries with different styles. Very nice to see it in a video about the most beautiful citys in Germany....
No other country in the world has as many castles and palaces as Germany. There are around 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions in Germany, many of which are still in their full splendor, others are ruins that remind us of Germany's history.
What looks like a castle @11:14 and is called das Rote Schloss am Meer, is actually the german navy academy: Marineschule Mürwik located in the northernmost town, Flensburg. So that doesn't count.
Greetings from good old Germany. From 11:49 till 11:57 is my City were i life it is (Goslar in the Harz). 60K People in there and it is surrounded of small Mountains. over 1000 years old. We have over 25000 Castles in Germany. I saw only 107 of them but its more than most People are visit because they are to busy to see not one of it.
I really like your reaction. And it's makes me proud to live in a country where other people who see that, getting speechless and overwhelming. Come to Germany and watch that live. Here in the area of Rheinland-Pfalz where I live give many castles and ruins to watch. I'm very corious which Videos and theme u still will react. Stay how u are.
The war didn't destroy as much as we think. After war, 80% of industry was still in good shape. That's why (west) Germany was able to produce again really fast. Some towns and areas were really blown away. That' s right. Ruhrgebiet, Hamburg, Dresden, Berlin, Frankfurt, Nürnberg and some others really got full package. But many parts of the land were still ok. Also the rebuilt was really successful. Many "concrete-sins" from the 60s are corrected meanwhile. And look at Dresden, as sample. Dresden is a real treasure today :)
@@francoforte4788 Halle (Saale) as an example was mostly intact, somehow they bombed the fields and forest around the city but the city itself didn't take much damage, sadly not one of the best looking cities out there but still in the video for it's chrismis market at 14:38
@@francoforte4788 Depends on the city. There was much destruction in major cities like Berlin, Hamburg or Dresden. Sure, some was restored, but a lot was lost, too. We can't really complain though.
Hey my friend. I was born in Germany and grew up there since 1981. One of the reasons why we have so many castles and similar fortifications is because of our history. The Germany of today was preceded by a period of time known as the Middle Ages that was characterized by noble families, their possessions and the people who lived there. During the so-called feudalism, those people were just as much property of the sovereigns as the land on which they lived. The central point was usually the castle of the respective nobleman. A castle that was both a symbol of his power and the place where he lived. There were many noble families and the number of castles was correspondingly large. A few could even afford to own more than one castle. The castles that can be seen in Germany today date back to this early historical period.
When you look into your eyes you can see how fascinated you are. You are an attentive observer. Greetings from Thuringia "the green heart of Germany". Like 1688 Wenn man in deine Augen schaut sieht man wie fasziniert du bist . Du bist ein aufmerksamer Beobachter . Liebe Grüße aus Thüringen "das grüne Herz Deutschlands".
I hope you will enjoy our country. We do have a lot to offer even at about half the former size. You will meet all kinds of people here, Germans and foreigners. It’s a very mixed experience in both temperament, regional and international diversity. We would be happy to have you.
Thank you for the very nice video! Greetings from Finland. In my young adult years I lived 20 Years in Germany, it was divided then. My best foreign language is German. Berlin I still would like to visit this year again, maybe Christmas- market time.
You will love Germany. Going back to Germany in August. I hope you get there soon. All the best with your RUclips program. Don’t forget, Germany is hundreds of years older than the US.
I'm pretty sure the island was "Baltrum" my favorite place on earth. It's tiny and there are no cars (besides firetrucks and an ambulance). It's the best place to recharge.
We Germans have to be proud of our Country again. We were taught not to be, but we have to learn it again. Otherwise our beautiful country will not exist for long.
Around 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions bear witness to Germany's history: some of them are still in their old glory, others are ruins that remind you of times gone by. Nice greetings from Germany :)
A friend of mine is a tour guide and he always thinks it`s hilarious when he tells american tourists how old the buildings in Europe are and they don´t believe him ^^ Never forget that the US is actually quite a young country. (apart from native american tribes)
Just watching your reaction. My name is Andreas and I'm from Germany. Hopefully you can visit our beautiful country one day. Would love to show you around 😅
so i live near Koblenz. If i put a circle around me with an diameter ~ 30 miles i can visit ~ 50 Diffrent Castels. And one of the most famouse one in germany ( Burg Elz, Marksburg, Burg Cochem)
Hey, i love your other channel where you talk about foreign things in general, so as a german i'm also very suprised and very happy by this! is this channel only dedicated to germany?
Yes totally dedicated to Germany and once I hit 10k subscribers I’ll the share my own experiences in Germany with you guys So yes I’ll visit Germany at 10k subs
@@giobozzde Do it. With a little plan. Comparing to US, Germany is small. But everything is much much closer together. So there is a LOT so see. Germany has many nice and cool places. But, as in every country, there are also some (rare) spots not so nice as in the video :) If you make a plan before, it will be a stunning experience. Hamburg is a must. If you'll ever need a guide for Hamburg, fell free to contact me ;)
3:00 The building in the water is the Old Town Hall in the UNESCO city of Bamberg. The legend says: The bishop had not provided land for the construction of a town hall, so the people of Bamberg simply built it in the water.
I think the reason is the much longer history of germany. The most experts are shure, that the history of germany is longer than 2000 Jears. In this time they had a lot of wars and many different peoples. And this you will find also today with the castles and the diffrent accents and dialects and architectures. Greetings 🙂
One could think Germany only consists of castles, water, trees, churches and pretty towns. Living in Potsdam, I really cannot disagree. LOL. But there are not so pretty parts too. These were some of the raisins. But wow. Now I want to visit my own country more. Especially the coast. Loved that slightly stunned and authentic look on your face during the vid. 😀
Thank you so much for sharing, and yesss ❤ i have subscribed wish that you get it. Yes there are lot of wonderfull places wich even me, never seen before and i am a german. I am from North wich is, cos i born here, my Fave. I like the Water, Island and the fresh wind. Hamburg, Bremen, Kiel, and the Island round about us is beautyfull. Greeti gs from Bremen the smallest in Germany 😂❤
What do you think? what you can get in more than 2000 years of history and culture... fun fact: In America there were times during the settlement when over 70% of Americans had German roots.... lol 😂🤫 at least they are today still more than 50 million Americans... where the main ancestry can be counted as German, thus the largest ancestry group in the USA 🍻 and many just don't know it (problem of the time of oblivion)
These are not only palaces and castles, these are also churches, which look like palaces and castles...... We have many, many of them. And, of course, monuments to heroes, great kings, etc. I think this video is just wonderful and as a German I have to honestly say that even we Germans probably haven't seen everything in our country. There were some pictures of my hometown Frankfurt.... the Römer and the Frankfurt skyline, which is often called "Mainhatten". Simply beautiful.

@@giobozzde good luck😊 hope your Dream come true and a trip to Germany 🇩🇪👍🙋♀️
Around 25.000 castles, castles and mansions testify to Germany's history
yes offical listing says 25000
At 4:58 min. it's The Ulmer Münster. The highest Church in the world. 161,53 meter high. At 7:09 it's The Limburger Dom with his seven towers. This Church is from 1230! 800 years old!
Around 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions bear witness to Germany's history: some of them are still in their old glory, others are ruins that remind you of times gone by.
This is the first video of yours that has been recommended for me in ages.
Glad to have you back
This is a channel just for German videos
Hope you enjoy
if you visit one castle a day - you are traveling more than 68 years, to see all german castles
greetings from germany :)
😮😦
the castle at 13:35 is Burg Eltz, the the decendants of the family who built it in the 12th century still lives there. We also have the longest castle in the world, Burghausen which is over 1km or 0.65 miles long.
i'm a proud german and I love my beautiful country with all my heart and i would never regret to be born and raised in germany my beloved "Vaterland"😌🙏🏻❤️
So am I.

4:15 It depends. What is a castle to you? The estimation for castles originally used as fortification or (in the broadest sense) military buildings is about 25,000 - that includes some ruins, but not palaces built for representative or governmental purposes (except for some (re)built in the 19th century in "medieval" romantic style like Burg Hohenzollern (1:29) or Schloss Neuschwanstein (1:04) and some others) or e.g. abbeys which were repurposed in the 19th century as palaces, army barracks or infirmaries or e.g. municipal fortifications.
Wonderfull video! Wonderfull reactions on the footage! You are really great guy and I'll keep my fingers crossed, that you'll be able to see all that shown once in future with your own eyes. The video showed me personal once again, that my country is really beautifull and great to travel in...yeah, and it made me goosebumps as well🙂
Ich wollte nirgendwo anders leben... Dankeschön für deine Reaktion für Deutschland... I❤Deutschland
In our small town, the elementary school is housed in a castle. It was built around 1480 and since 1869 it has been a school.
Everywhere you go, you’ll encounter castles in Germany as almost every city has at least one castle somewhere. Some are rather new (200-300 years old) while others are over a 1000 years old, like for example the castle in my city which was build around 800 AD in order to withstand the attacks of the vikings. 😄
And concerning the islands: Germany has 77 islands. The biggest island of Germany is Rügen in the Baltic Sea. The biggest German island in the North Sea is Sylt. 😄
in germany theres about 12 000 castel, and about 16 000 broken, + about 35000 rests
5:54: Lüneburg, the place I was born and raised in the north of Germany! The Rathaus on the right is one of the most interesting buildings because it has been build over centuries with different styles. Very nice to see it in a video about the most beautiful citys in Germany....
Ich bin so glücklich in diesem Land zu leben, mit soviel wunderbaren Staedte,Burgen, und Menschen
No other country in the world has as many castles and palaces as Germany. There are around 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions in Germany, many of which are still in their full splendor, others are ruins that remind us of Germany's history.
13:52 - 14:03 Well, look at it if that's not Coburg where I live, it's nice that Coburg also made it in this video xD
Your eyes are shining like stars bro! 😍
😳🫡
What looks like a castle @11:14 and is called das Rote Schloss am Meer, is actually the german navy academy: Marineschule Mürwik located in the northernmost town, Flensburg. So that doesn't count.
Greetings from good old Germany. From 11:49 till 11:57 is my City were i life it is (Goslar in the Harz). 60K People in there and it is surrounded of small Mountains. over 1000 years old. We have over 25000 Castles in Germany. I saw only 107 of them but its more than most People are visit because they are to busy to see not one of it.
Cochem an der mosel 🤩👍🏻.. Trier, Hermanns denkmal ,externsteine, frauenkirche Dresden etc... i love my country ❤❤❤
I really like your reaction. And it's makes me proud to live in a country where other people who see that, getting speechless and overwhelming.
Come to Germany and watch that live. Here in the area of Rheinland-Pfalz where I live give many castles and ruins to watch.
I'm very corious which Videos and theme u still will react.
Stay how u are.
And now imagine how beautiful it would have been if the war didn't destroy so much...
The war didn't destroy as much as we think.
After war, 80% of industry was still in good shape.
That's why (west) Germany was able to produce again really fast.
Some towns and areas were really blown away. That' s right.
Ruhrgebiet, Hamburg, Dresden, Berlin, Frankfurt, Nürnberg and some others really got full package.
But many parts of the land were still ok.
Also the rebuilt was really successful.
Many "concrete-sins" from the 60s are corrected meanwhile.
And look at Dresden, as sample.
Dresden is a real treasure today :)
@@francoforte4788 Halle (Saale) as an example was mostly intact, somehow they bombed the fields and forest around the city but the city itself didn't take much damage, sadly not one of the best looking cities out there but still in the video for it's chrismis market at 14:38
So true!
Whole Germany would look like Prague now.
@@francoforte4788 Depends on the city. There was much destruction in major cities like Berlin, Hamburg or Dresden. Sure, some was restored, but a lot was lost, too. We can't really complain though.
@@lanman6239 Read my full comment 😉
This is what I said 😉
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video. Most beautiful castle is of course the 'Heidelberg Castle". ☺
Hey my friend. I was born in Germany and grew up there since 1981. One of the reasons why we have so many castles and similar fortifications is because of our history. The Germany of today was preceded by a period of time known as the Middle Ages that was characterized by noble families, their possessions and the people who lived there. During the so-called feudalism, those people were just as much property of the sovereigns as the land on which they lived. The central point was usually the castle of the respective nobleman. A castle that was both a symbol of his power and the place where he lived. There were many noble families and the number of castles was correspondingly large. A few could even afford to own more than one castle. The castles that can be seen in Germany today date back to this early historical period.
Did you know that Finland has many medieval castles also? 😎 🏰 Europe in general is like a living museum.
😳
^1.09 is my place where i am every day. its called grasbödele, schwäbisch hall.
When you look into your eyes you can see how fascinated you are. You are an attentive observer. Greetings from Thuringia "the green heart of Germany". Like 1688 Wenn man in deine Augen schaut sieht man wie fasziniert du bist . Du bist ein aufmerksamer Beobachter . Liebe Grüße aus Thüringen "das grüne Herz Deutschlands".
You introduced Germany so well. I would also like to introduce the USA in this way. But I can only speak German.
Servus. Hi everybody. At 7:18 You can see my Hometown Munich. Thank You so much for this incredible Video.. Greddings from Munich...
I hope you will enjoy our country. We do have a lot to offer even at about half the former size. You will meet all kinds of people here, Germans and foreigners. It’s a very mixed experience in both temperament, regional and international diversity. We would be happy to have you.
Thank you for the very nice video! Greetings from Finland. In my young adult years I lived 20 Years in Germany, it was divided then. My best foreign language is German. Berlin I still would like to visit this year again, maybe Christmas- market time.
I hope you get to visit
You will love Germany. Going back to Germany in August. I hope you get there soon. All the best with your RUclips program. Don’t forget, Germany is hundreds of years older than the US.
Thank you
Yes, we have islands. Why so surprised?
I never knew 😆🤩
@@giobozzde
We have 2389 Kilometers coastline. 51 islands in the baltic sea, 26 in the north sea and 10 Halligen.
@@tatamay126 only 10 Haligen? I always thought that there were mmore of those.
Because he's American? 🤣🤣
I'm pretty sure the island was "Baltrum" my favorite place on earth. It's tiny and there are no cars (besides firetrucks and an ambulance). It's the best place to recharge.
Hiddensee (another german island) also has no cars and better beaches (Ostsee). 😉 But I know what you mean...
We Germans have to be proud of our Country again. We were taught not to be, but we have to learn it again. Otherwise our beautiful country will not exist for long.
You know, how a reaction Video works, right? It needs a reaction! You are so stunned, no words to say.
It is estimated that Germany has 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions. But there could also be more. You can always find an attraction nearby.
3:52 Schweriner Schloß. Das schönste überhaupt😍
I love these Videos you lowkey forget living here how many beautiful places we truly have throughout every "Bundesland" (State)
Around 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions bear witness to Germany's history: some of them are still in their old glory, others are ruins that remind you of times gone by. Nice greetings from Germany :)
A friend of mine is a tour guide and he always thinks it`s hilarious when he tells american tourists how old the buildings in Europe are and they don´t believe him ^^ Never forget that the US is actually quite a young country.
(apart from native american tribes)
😘good old fatherland ..thx bro for this
Ich miss the Walhalla Building in this Video :) but yes its a good one
there are about 25000 castles palaces and mansion houses in germany. Also the little villages are gorgeous :)
Just watching your reaction. My name is Andreas and I'm from Germany. Hopefully you can visit our beautiful country one day. Would love to show you around 😅
I hope too thanks
In fact, there are around 20,000 castles in Germany, possibly as many as 25,000.
There are around 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions here in Germany. plus 16,820 historic churches.
there is a lot to see
4:58 Ulm Minster, tallest church spire in the world.

Greetings from Germany nice Video .😉
Thank you

Hello From Germany Beautiful Video 🥰♥
Thank you!
@@giobozzde 🙂🥰
Hey, i love your other channel where you talk about foreign things in general, so as a german i'm also very suprised and very happy by this! is this channel only dedicated to germany?
Yes totally dedicated to Germany and once I hit 10k subscribers
I’ll the share my own experiences in Germany with you guys
So yes I’ll visit Germany at 10k subs
@@giobozzde Do it. With a little plan.
Comparing to US, Germany is small. But everything is much much closer together.
So there is a LOT so see.
Germany has many nice and cool places.
But, as in every country, there are also some (rare) spots not so nice as in the video :)
If you make a plan before, it will be a stunning experience.
Hamburg is a must. If you'll ever need a guide for Hamburg, fell free to contact me ;)
3:00
The building in the water is the Old Town Hall in the UNESCO city of Bamberg.
The legend says:
The bishop had not provided land for the construction of a town hall, so the people of Bamberg simply built it in the water.
Not the King, the Bishop.
Original Video should be renamed to "This is Dronie-Germany"
I live in such a beautiful area and feel like I'm on vacation every day!!!!!!!
I think the reason is the much longer history of germany. The most experts are shure, that the history of germany is longer than 2000 Jears. In this time they had a lot of wars and many different peoples. And this you will find also today with the castles and the diffrent accents and dialects and architectures.
Greetings 🙂
One could think Germany only consists of castles, water, trees, churches and pretty towns. Living in Potsdam, I really cannot disagree. LOL. But there are not so pretty parts too. These were some of the raisins. But wow. Now I want to visit my own country more. Especially the coast.
Loved that slightly stunned and authentic look on your face during the vid. 😀
i live here for 25 years, ive seen one ... many of thos was filmed from different angle
Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248, old buildings in europ
8:12 is where i come from ✌🏼😂🇩🇪 .. Marburg, Germany 📍

Thank you so much for sharing, and yesss ❤ i have subscribed wish that you get it. Yes there are lot of wonderfull places wich even me, never seen before and i am a german. I am from North wich is, cos i born here, my Fave. I like the Water, Island and the fresh wind. Hamburg, Bremen, Kiel, and the Island round about us is beautyfull. Greeti gs from Bremen the smallest in Germany 😂❤
What you see is only a tiny part of it. And for the most people daly life seems different. Herzlich willkommen....😊
And the Cologne Cathedral took 632 years to be buildt
😮💨
hope you get your 10k subscriptions soon!
What do you think? what you can get in more than 2000 years of history and culture... fun fact: In America there were times during the settlement when over 70% of Americans had German roots.... lol 😂🤫 at least they are today still more than 50 million Americans... where the main ancestry can be counted as German, thus the largest ancestry group in the USA 🍻 and many just don't know it (problem of the time of oblivion)
Greetings from Germany, wish u all the best on your way to 10k. I think if u try german beer in one of your vids the 10k will soon be possible ;-)...
There are 25 thousands castles (including the ruined ones) in Germany ;)
These are not only palaces and castles, these are also churches, which look like palaces and castles...... We have many, many of them. And, of course, monuments to heroes, great kings, etc. I think this video is just wonderful and as a German I have to honestly say that even we Germans probably haven't seen everything in our country. There were some pictures of my hometown Frankfurt.... the Römer and the Frankfurt skyline, which is often called "Mainhatten". Simply beautiful.
